The act of creating a memorial for one who has passed away is an act of spirituality. A memorial tells the world that Marco may be gone, but his spirit lives on. A memorial makes a statement that Marco will forever be tied together in the circle of life. A memorial is a statement that Marco's life mattered & continues to matter. The acts of goodness & courage will never be forgotten. A memorial is a way to remember a loved one forever.

One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said,
"Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"

"Wait a
moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little
test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."'Triple filter?" asked the
acquaintance.

"That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me
about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first
filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell
me is true?"

"No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about
it."

"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true
or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are
about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"

"No, on the
contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something
about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's
true?"

The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You
may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of
Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to
me?"

"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you
want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or
anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example
of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at
the grocery store, but couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a
stock boy, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The stock boy replied, "No ma'am,
they're dead."

The pro football team had just finished their
daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While
the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and
demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after
pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the
sidelines, the coach shouted, "You're terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and
I'll see to it that you get a huge bonus." "Forget the bonus," the turkey said,
"All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?"

An industrious turkey farmer was always experimenting with
breeding to perfect a better turkey. His family was fond of the leg portion for
dinner and there were never enough legs for everyone. After many frustrating
attempts, the farmer was relating the results of his efforts to his friends at
the general store get together. "Well I finally did it! I bred a turkey that has
6 legs!" They all asked the farmer how it tasted. "I Don't know" said the
farmer. "I never could catch the darn thing!"

An elderly man in Phoenix calls his son in New
York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother
and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough." "Pop, what are you
talking about?" the son screams. "We can't stand the sight of each other any
longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking
about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. "No Way they're
getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this." She calls Phoenix
immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced. Don't do
a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be
there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up. The
old man hangs up his phone, too, and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says,
"they're coming for Thanksgiving.
